Abstract

A new and improved external corner protector is fabricated from predetermined materials and comprises a vertex portion (112), and a pair of leg members (114, 116) which diverge outwardly at a predetermined included angle with respect to each other from the vertex portion. The vertex portion and distal end portions of the leg members have relatively enlarged cross-sectional dimensions relative to the cross-sectional dimensions comprising those portions of the leg members which integrally interconnect the distal end portions of the leg members to the vertex portion, wherein the relatively enlarged cross-sectional dimensions serve to reinforce the vertex portion and to dispose only such relatively enlarged distal end portions of the leg members into contact with the external side wall members of the palletized load which define the external corner region being protected. In this manner, the leg members of the external corner protector are flexed more than has conventionally been the case such that forces are generated and transmitted to the vertex portion so as to rigidify the same whereby the vertex portion will exhibit enhanced flexural strength and bending resistance properties with respect to external forces which may be impressed upon the external corner protector thereby tending to flex or bend the same.
